I want to draw text in default marker of Google map v2. I have done this by taking my own image from drawable but how can i change it in default marker.
my code is
1.Downlaod the library from
github.com/googlemaps/android-maps-utils
2.To use check this link
Using android-maps-utils with ADT
TextIconGenerator tc = new TextIconGenerator(this);
Bitmap bmp = tc.makeIcon("hello");
Then set the bitmap to the map object
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(bmp)));

You can use this example to draw text in marker you have to set latlong:
public Marker showTextOnMarker(final Context context, final GoogleMap map,
final LatLng location, final String text, final int padding,
final int fontSize) {
Marker marker = null;
if (context == null || map == null || location == null || text == null
|| fontSize <= 0) {
return marker;
}
final TextView textView = new TextView(context);
textView.setText(text);
textView.setTextSize(fontSize);
final Paint paintText = textView.getPaint();
final Rect boundsText = new Rect();
paintText.getTextBounds(text, 0, textView.length(), boundsText);
paintText.setTextAlign(Align.CENTER);
final Bitmap.Config conf = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;
final Bitmap bmpText = Bitmap.createBitmap(boundsText.width() + 2
* padding, boundsText.height() + 2 * padding, conf);
final Canvas canvasText = new Canvas(bmpText);
paintText.setColor(Color.BLACK);
canvasText.drawText(text, canvasText.getWidth() / 2,
canvasText.getHeight() - padding - boundsText.bottom, paintText);
final MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions()
.position(location)
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(bmpText))
.anchor(0.5f, 1);
marker = map.addMarker(markerOptions);
return marker;
}
